Different trip than the one I planned, but a great time nonetheless - I actually signed up for the Cave Point kayak tour but the lake/weather forecast was not ideal for paddling. Door County Kayak Tours was very accommodating, they let me know a day ahead of time that my scheduled trip was a no-go and gave me several options as to what I could do instead. I opted for the Death's Door tour and ended up having a great time. I learned a lot and really enjoyed the scenery. Madeline was an awesome guide!

Wahoo! - We had a heckin’ hoot. We pivoted from the cave tours due to weather and were suggested to go to the bluffs instead. Our tour guide was super conversational and knowledgeable about the area and history of Door County. She had great recommendations for food after we had worked up an appetite paddling. All around 5 Stars!

A Must Do in Door County - We had a great couple of hours on the water! Our Guide Jackson was very personable and knowledgeable about the area! Would definitely recommend this activity! The views are amazing even if it is a little creepy to go right over a shipwreck and see it right below you!!!!

A great experience! - What a great trip! Evan was a fantastic guide, full of information on what we were seeing as well as encouragement as needed ;) . We went as an extended family group of 7 people including 4 teenagers. I thoroughly recommend this trip for something to do that’s active and outside with some history of Door County.

My first time kayaking, don't regret it. - Definetly worth every penny. And if you don't know how to kayak no worries, Jackson our guide showed us the basic on how to kayak and we were "pros" on our way back. He provided us with all the history about all the places we visited on the tour and was amazing. The views were out of this world. Every time you looked somwhere you discovered something new, it looked so unrealistic. Then we did the hike, nothing difficult, and the view from the bluff was wonderful. We had our picnic woth local food. And we kayaked back Definetly need to try it!

Fabulous time with family! - Enjoyed the bluffs trip. We had 2 guides for our family group of 10 kayakers; they made sure we were safe and had fun! Our age range was 11-67 and everyone enjoyed themselves.

Beautiful and satisfying. - The tour was beautiful and satisfying. Our guide, Justin, was easy-going, knowledgeable, and encouraging. We had an opportunity to observe wildlife and to appreciate the natural rock formations. A kayak tour is a must-do activity while visiting Door County.

Fun for new and experienced kayakers - Unfortunately, the weather conditions were not good for Kayaking at our chosen location. They offered another tour pretty close by with no rough water. Everything was perfect, our guides Kacey and Paddelin Madeline were great. They got everyone involved in the trip, including the kids. Fun trip! Thank you, Sharon and Susan
